Tonia, 

Sure, anytime. I am totally blind, with a significant hearing loss, in addition to Meniere's. I am excited to get this pup who can help with these added challenges in my life. 

There are others on the list, who have dogs, because of additional disabilities, including balance troubles. Although not related to blindness, it is related to guide dogs.
